  1. Does anyone really think that he could possibly enjoy playing under Ross Lyon with his 6-8 goal a game forward line? (Could anyone for that matter - doesn’t look like anyone does at the moment) Seriously, what a special talent who appears to be enjoying every moment (well almost, other than the after siren play on brain fade) Well done Jesse - we love you and look forward to many years kicking multiple goals and assisting Demon teammates kick many more.

    Apologies Rusty. I was replying to the previous poster who was talking about Max. My bad.
  3. Great idea, helium man. About as successful as your various attempts at coaching.

    Unfortunately didn't see the match and am looking forward to the replay. But it is interesting from the stats that he (Max) had ZERO marks today in a dominant team performance. I guess that confirms that stats are just that ... stats.

    Whoever made the call to play him as a winger deserves a gold medal. Fantastic move. Calm, aggressive, beautiful mover and reader of the play and silky disposal.
  6. Has Mr Wallet spoken ?
  7. Maybe, but only after watching the replay Thanks Mark.
  8. NO EXCUSES! Just kill from the opening bounce.
  9. I notice that nobody has dared start a changes for next week thread. ???
  10. Even in your day Barrie I can’t remember such dominance ...... but you won a flag and these guys haven’t ...... yet! That is their challenge.
  11. As could Nev ? OMG. Name the 2% and we will admonish them ?
  12. ?? Quite obviously GW$$$$ and Carlton need to share the first ten picks this draft.
  13. Thanks for the summation Drunkn and to you and others for their reports on all Casey games. A few specific queries when you get a moment. Petty - how is he developing, what role is he playing and is he close to a call up? If so whose spot would he be competing for? Baker - same questions and how is his pace you mentioned some runs. Were these runs based on super pace or evasiveness and reading the play? Balic - is he a HFF FP type or can you compare him with anyone in the seniors? How is his pace? Smith - last year started on fire as a HBF type until Riewoldt did his shoulder. He hasn’t seemed (from reports) to have regained any of that form. What is his current role? Does he appear to have made a full physical recovery? Has he recovered mentally? Thanks so much
  14. Easton Wood also was always referred to in full ...... maybe the morons in the commentary box think he has a hyphen.
  15. Yeah. It got that big log off last night, though he does come from the same team as the one man MRP so no real surprise.
  16. There are thousands of ex AFL players and I would put little faith on what 99.9% of them say
  17. Haven’t read all the posts but not sure that it is player hate rather than form hate. I doubt if any of us want him to fail or hate him; indeed if he finds his best and his disposal improves we will all be happy. Sounds like a classic Richo dummy spit. Cant see him staying on the list as he doesn’t have any special tricks which a small player in particular needs. (And as one can see from my faves list he has been one of mine)
  18. Just looked at the Carlisle Riewoldt hit Cant argue against high contact, high impact and at very least reckless Wonder which way Christian’s roulette wheel will spin on this one
  19. Remind me which team did Mr Christian play for. This was always going to happen. So I take it Your Lordship that you are not an alias of Broooose McIvaney. And I agree, a dirty dog and not a defender’s #$&@$#&
  20. In fairness they also had to play well enough to squeeze into the 8 first (which we haven’t done forever and a day) But yes, a manic finals campaign and Murphy aside a good injury run.
  21. FMD Footscray played like dogs in the third quarter. How did they ever win a flag. PS and the fourth has started even worse for them.
  22. The big difference is the climate, not the travel time .... but then as you. say the AFL would argue only the one point.
  23. IF there was a skerrick of integrity and even handedness at AFL HQ both teams involved in games at Darwin (or Cairns for that matter) would get a bye the following week, so ............
  24. Surely the lower placed team winning would always be to our advantage - then it is entirely up to us to keep winning In the first 5 minutes maggots have put themselves in the line of fire at least twice. Now they have been declared sacrosanct (most of the time anyway) they seem to think that players should avoid them without taking any personal responsibility
  25. Did he have that annoying squeak (beautifully described by Wadda We Sing) before or do we have Rod Grinter to thank for that?
